Keats and the Culture of Dissent sets out to recover the lively and
unsettling voices of Keats's poetry, and seeks to trace the complex
ways in which his poems responded to and addressed their
contemporary world. It offers new research about Keats's early life
opening valuable new perspectives on his poetry. Two chapters
explore the dissenting culture of Enfield School, showing how the
school exercised a strong influence on Keats's imaginative life and
his political radicalism. Imagination and politics intertwine
through succeeding chapters on Keats's friendship with Charles
Cowden Clarke; his medical career; the `Cockney' milieu in which
Keats's poems were written; and on the immediate controversial
impact of his three collections of poetry. The author deftly
reconstructs contexts and contemporary resonances for Keats's
poems, retrieving the vigorous challenges of Keats's verbal art
which outraged his early readers but which was lost to us as Keats
entered the canon of English romantic poets.
